@MatrixMysteries We all want to live in the land of the free until we decide that others should not be free.

“An Illinois city just approved 14 data centers after hearing six straight hours of people begging them not to.” Residents packed the City Council meeting to oppose the project. Public comment went on for hours. In the end, officials unanimously voted yes.

@SenJeffMerkley You, sir, are the definition of treason and should be prosecuted at so.

President Trump's profanity-laden Easter threat to attack Iran's civilian infrastructure—power plants and bridges—are the words of a frustrated and immoral madman. Many experts agree that such attacks would be war crimes under international law. To our military leaders, remember this: You are legally required to refuse orders to commit war crimes.

@Sadie_NC Now, take it a step further. I paid for a room without a view at the beach hotel but the room with a view has no one in it. Should I just be able to stay in any hotel room? NO. Then mentality is juvenile. SIT IN THE DAMNED SEAT YOU PAID FOR. PERIOD.

Southwest Airlines tells this woman that she is in the wrong seat. She needs to go to the seat she purchased, even though the seat she moved to is empty. Should passengers be able to sit in any open seat?

@UinPen @Jaytee116James @johnrhanger FEDERAL $ are 1/3 of CA's budget. More than 1/3 of NY's. Just under 1/3 to IL. Nice lack of understanding. So either your intentionally in the dark or just simply in the dark, either way, same result. Yeah, federal debt has NOTHING to do with the funding the states. ZERO! /s

@GenocidalAtom @Jaytee116James @johnrhanger That's not relevant to state debt though. Nice pivot.

"A typical electric vehicle uses about 7.5 kWh of electricity to travel 25 miles...charging with household electricity, that power costs about $1.30 on average, far less than a gallon of gasoline." Americans pay ~$2.1 billion more per week to fuel their autos. EV is solution.

@UinPen @Jaytee116James @johnrhanger What part of $39 TRILLION in debt is that you don't understand?

@GenocidalAtom @Jaytee116James @johnrhanger "unsustainable" is the favorite adverb of the selfish.

@cityaestheticss Let's not forget that something can be uniquely designed and still be a monstrosity. Anything that ushers a first response of "WTF is that?" is not a great design.

While I think it’s super kitsch to put text on a building, the Obama presidential library is getting wayyyy too much hate. It’s a relatively simple building, made to look like a modern, almost Egyptian revival inspired monolithic monument. It’s a fine design.

@Sadie_NC Yes, and leave 0 tip and a note: Ask the person who wrote the note on the door for your 25%

Would you still go in and eat here? 🤔🤔

@UinPen @Jaytee116James @johnrhanger I had to pinch myself. Someone said "You're right" on X? :) But what you call generosity is actually a lot of debt. The top 3 highest debt states: CA, NY, IL, all blue. Total 1T state debt. If you factor in local debt, the numbers are far worse. CA > 1T alone. Unsustainable.

@GenocidalAtom @Jaytee116James @johnrhanger You're right. But only because the blue states are more generous. Outside of California, which is a statistical outlier, most poverty is in the red states. I stand corrected.

@Vesemirr @AnnesLimo @johnrhanger Free ancillary things do not offset the fact that the up front money is never recovered by the average buyer.

@AnnesLimo @GenocidalAtom @johnrhanger And later my utility company covered a full cost with installation of a proper level 2 charger.

@Coste1Costello @samstein Weird to complain about something that cost you nothing yet not make a peep about billions in fraud... fraud that drives up your healthcare, rent and groceries. Also, you limit your own income, not the government. Want to afford more? Go make more.

The New York Times takes an architectural look at the coming White House ballroom and finds there is a lot of ornamental stairs to no where and faux windows with bathroom stalls behind them

@ReddCinema It's how modernization works. That's why cars no longer look like this as well

Why is this happening?

@MatrixMysteries Still want them to pay people more?

Krispy Kreme Price Increases (2016 → 2025): Assorted Dozen Donuts $8.49 → $26.69 Single Glazed Donut $1.09 → $2.59 Dozen Original Glazed $7.99 → $19.99 Some of these are well over a 100% INCREASE. This isn’t just inflation — it’s robbery.

@SocialNomadRach The "living wage" argument is dumb. If they restaurant paid them more then IT IS YOUR JOB, because your burger goes from $9 to $12... and they get what $15? $20? Average is $25 for wait staff. You pay more, they make less. Does that make ANY sense?

It's not my job to give you a livable wage. Take it up with the restaurant owner.

@GupBGaming @SocialNomadRach Do you tip 40%?

@SocialNomadRach Don't say it's not your job, just say you can't afford it. $34.32 is not that crazy.😬 Broooookie🧍

@wakeupusa We only ever question the motive of the officer... Do you think the kid used too much stupidity?

WATCH: A police officer is facing criticism online over his handling of a teenager’s arrest. Do you think he used too much force?

@Argenpoirot Proving that being an asshole isn't just a human trait.

@LucasPeczek @johnrhanger Did you just pretend that routine and rare scenarios are the same? Been driving 30 years. NOT ONCE broke ANYTHING with timing/egr/cats/injectors/etc. but despite mountains of repair data that say ev repair is 30% more. your experience must be the only one that matters, right?

If you can replace a 2025 vehicle engine for $5000 including labor, then you are not comparing apples. That vehicle is not in the same league. I’ve had two of my 12 fleet vehicles needing engines, another needing a transmission and these vehicles were between 9-15 years old. All were well above $5k for each of these services. I’ve driven my daily driver EV for 3.5 years. $0 cost, zero repairs needed under warranty. I will be buying tires in the next month. That is it. I don’t wait at gas stations anymore either. My car quietly charges itself from about 20% to 80% while I sleep every couple of days, averaging roughly $1.50 for each overnight top‑up EVs don’t need to worry about oil changes, oil filters, spark plugs, ignition coils, timing belts or chains, fuel injectors, fuel filters, fuel pumps, engine air filters, exhaust components like mufflers, catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, or EGR systems, engine tune‑ups, multi‑speed automatic or manual transmissions, transmission fluid changes, clutches, torque converters, or smog/emissions system maintenance tied to the tailpipe. EVs also use regenerative braking, so they typically go through brake pads and rotors much more slowly, often lasting several times longer than on a comparable gas car with fewer replacements and less frequent brake service overall and only occasional checks and fluid changes. Tell me again, how you know better than real world experience.

@rrothWA @johnrhanger I guess it depends on what you prefer, as you said. I own a "fun" car.. and I don't find ev's more fun to drive than it... the lightest ev is still 1000 pounds more than my fun car. Having fun for me isn't about going fast. It's the experience, even including the noise.

@GenocidalAtom @johnrhanger By the way if you like gas power of course buy that. For me EVs are more fun to drive quiet and instant torque.

@LucasPeczek @johnrhanger My car is a 2025. I can replace the engine for $5K installed. The absolutely cheapest EV battery is about $8K, not installed. A wheel bearing replacement for me: up to $500... and EV, up to $1,100. Apples to apples, ev's cost more over time and that $ is not easily recovered.

@GenocidalAtom @johnrhanger Apples to apples, repair maintenance is not higher if at all for a similar priced auto.

@UinPen @Jaytee116James @johnrhanger correction: I always HEAR this said*

@UinPen @Jaytee116James @johnrhanger Serious question here. I always this said.. but 6 of the 10 top welfare states are blue. The entire top 5 states by % of population on welfare are all blue. 7 of the top 10 highest welfare $ per person are blue. At what point do "red states" take over this title?
